I'm getting a little long in the tooth frankly, and it occurred to me the other day that the last time I had my hearing checked it had degraded significantly since I was a young Audiophile. I think whereas it was once in the realm of 20-20000 I am presently only able to reliably decern test...

Well this little DC blocker plus has worked so well that I've bought a second one. I got the smaller brother ( DC blocker) for my preamp, because although the original buzzing was mechanical and not coming through the speakers, I could swear I heard an improvement in overall sound quality. I...

There is no such thing as an end game audio system, because Audio and HiFi are hobbies as much about the gear as the music. Add to that the obsessive compulsive nature of Audiophiles and you can safely assume that no matter how satisfied they claim to be with their present system it won't be for...

I like both vinyl & cd's, and probably prefer the sound of vinyl generally, but listen more often to cd's because it's quicker and less hassle. Also cd's can sound very good depending.

No, it had varied in both intensity and times, but as I mentioned the DC blocker worked. According to AI dc in the ac can be caused by numerous things like a poorly functioning appliance somewhere else in the house, or dimmers on light bulbs, and several other things I can't remember off the top...

I'm embarrassed to say I've never heard of, or a least never paid attention to anything called a DC blocker. I have an amp with a fairly large toroidal transformer that I noticed buzzing one day. This can't be good I thought, so I started to look for the cause and quickly noted that thankfully...

Hello BobanUK, welcome!

You know the box itself looks pretty cool in it's current condition, but if it were me I'd upgrade/replace the inside components. Either way it looks like a fun project though.

Welcome.

I'm not really in either camp, but just have an open mind to different points of view, and credible evidence. I know that in my own experience not every audible difference between amplifiers can be illustrated by objective specs alone, even between units measuring very similarly. So from my...

Actually there's a video he made just before this called the "Dac scam", which really should be seen before the one you posted to get the full context, because it delves into a little bit of the phycology. If his poll is on the up & up it certainly appears to provide some strong evidence that...

I came across an entertaining fellow who's a professional mastering engineer on a channel called "AP MASTERING" recently, and if nothing else two of the videos he's put up called "The DAC Delusion," and "The DAC Scam" are informationally provocative to say the least. Anyway, he puts forth...

As I say, there's nothing wrong with class D these days, in fact imo it makes a lot of sense.

I notice one of the biggest stores (Upscale Audio) in CA has what looks like a sale on every Tannoy they have, which is about 12 or thirteen different models. The sales appear to be significant.
